Developed and launched in partnership with Pack Network, NEC Front Row features a rich set
of content, including live events, on-demand video, highlight
packages, coaches shows, features, original programming and access
to league’s extensive digital library, all of which is free
of charge to users. The network gives fans free inside access to
the stories from across the Northeast Conference and its
student-athletes on the field, in the classroom, across campus, and
in the community.

“We are thrilled
to partner with Pack Network to unveil the NEC Front Row,” said Noreen
Morris, NEC Commissioner. “This state-of-the-art online
digital network will provide NEC fans with the opportunity to
follow their favorite teams, coaches and student-athletes through a
high-end, interactive viewing experience. Our membership is
truly excited about the launch of NEC Front Row, and the limitless
possibilities to enhance the brand and exposure of the
NEC.”

The centerpiece of the digital network is the video streaming of
hundreds of live events from across the Conference. Nearly every
Northeast Conference basketball game will be available along with a
majority of NEC football contests. NEC members will have the
ability to stream any sport they choose, along with special events
from across campus. Due to contractual obligations with its current
provider, Monmouth home events will not initially be carried on NEC Front Row. Robert
Morris' status is uncertain at this time.

NEC Front Row will be
available on-the-go, providing fans the ability to watch live
events on any mobile device. In the coming weeks, the online
digital network will also have its own iPhone/iPad application that
can be downloaded by fans at no cost. All mobile content, including
live content, will be free of charge.

The widespread availability of live NEC events is only a slice of
what NEC Front Row is set
to provide fans.

The online digital network features a state-of-the-art Game Viewer
that is sure to enhance the way fans follow the action. Users have
the option to watch up to six live events simultaneously and a host
of interactive fan components - including in-game chat, Twitter
feeds, Facebook posts and Instagram photo sharing - are set to
provide a rich in-game social media experience.

Following the conclusion
of live events, recorded broadcasts (in their entirety) will be
made available in the NEC
Front Row on-demand archive.

Along with live programming, fans will be able to interact 24/7
with their favorite NEC institution on each school’s
“Social Media Mashup” wall. On-demand content can
be sorted by school, as well as by sport and type of clip.

“NEC Front Row has
been a long time in the making and throughout the entire
development of the Front Row site, our main focus has been on the
fans of the Northeast Conference,” said K.J. Cardinal, Pack
Network Co-Founder. “We are looking forward to working
with the NEC and its members to deliver a unique gameday experience
that will serve as an interactive community for those watching
games online and in the arena. The fact that fans can also view
enhanced live video productions on their computers and on the go,
all for free, is a testament to the commitment of the NEC to better
serve not only its fans, but also its membership. We couldn’t
be happier to have partnered with the Northeast Conference and
further our relationship with a league that is willing to push the
envelope technologically.”
